Android is 80+ % of the world market
Frustrating that so many cater to Apple. Hell, Apple doesn't even have >50% of the US Market. We Android users feel oppressed, marginalized, discriminated against, and any other over-used adjective today. That's all.

Apple will get its comeuppance if hubris leads them to think they can build electric cars. Without something paradigm-busting - which hasn't anything to do with phones or services - their glory days will soon come to an end. Even though I've been an Apple user since the '80s, I used CarPlay in my 992 for about 3 days then turned it off. Others here seem to have differing experiences, but my view is it's poorly designed, not even remotely integrated with the PCM from an interface perspective and flaky as he**. Even my wife, who has every Apple product from iPhone to earbuds to multiple iPads and watches - and cuts Apple a whole lot more slack than me when things break and don't work (3rd set of earbuds that won't take a proper charge, for example) - pronounced it unusable midway through our first road trip in the car.

You’re the minority of Porsche owners. That’s what Porsche cares about, not the entire world.

It’s not as simple as a matter of market share. The demographics are quite different between the devices. Users of iOS devices tend to be more affluent and fashion conscious — this is directly reflected in their shopping behaviors as consumers. Outside of the US, iOS users are even more affluent. Sure, Android is 80% of the global market, but when it comes to Porsche owners, the 80/20 ratio is most certainly reversed. It’s probably more like 95/5.
Yes, Porsche is now going to support Android Auto in the 2022 model year. They’re doing it, because they have to. There’s an upcoming age group of Porsche buyers that will want to use whatever phone they own with their Porsche. Until recently, Ferrari didn’t support Android Auto either, but added support for similar reasons.
I’ve always owned both and perfectly comfortable with either. I have no dog in this fight, but I do have to say that I found myself using my iPhone more when I got my 992. Now, I use my iPhone almost exclusively. It’s become my daily driver.

Baloney. Is true. Attend a few Black Hat conferences, like I have, and you will know the truth.
To be clear, not saying that Apple's can’t be hacked...just that Androids are far easier to hack. Android’s are a hackers wet dream. I know this for fact. But believe whatever you want. Don’t care.
For what it’s worth, there have been many security analysis article of the two platforms over the years. But those that work in this field don’t need articles to know what we know to be fact, and historically, iOS has been shown to be more impervious to successful attacks, than Android:
